9. As people in ancient days started
creating things, the need to verify
the actual length of things
increased—fortunately, James
Chesterman, the creator of
measuring tape, offered a solution

10. British metalworker James
Chesterman came up with a use
for the flat metal used to

Chesterman patented a spring
tape measure that utilized flat
metal with marked measurements.

11. 1. Verify make sure or
demonstrate that (something) is
true, accurate, or justified.
2. Construct to build something or
put together different parts to form
something whole.

12. 3. Patented obtain a patent.
(Patent is an exclusive right
granted for an invention, which is a
product or a process that provides,

14. Do you buy clothes through online
shops?

23.  What have you noticed about the
pictures?
 If you were the person in the photo,
how would you feel? what will you
do?

25.  Identify the body parts to be
measured;
 Value the importance of taking
accurate body measurements; and
 Perform the proper procedure in
taking Body Measurements.
Objectives

27. is measuring the body
length, width, girth, and
other specific body
measurements per the
requirement of apparel
manufacturers, tailors, etc.

28. • Body measurements are a prerequisite to
pattern construction. The size and fit of a
garment depends upon the accuracy.
• It is crucial for a tailor to have a thorough
knowledge of the correct procedure for taking
body measurements as it is a basis for
constructing a garment.
• To successfully construct garments, one must
know the required body parts to measure that
will be used in drafting the pattern.

32. Horizontal
measurement
Circumferential
measurement
Vertical
measurement
This is taken from the
left of the figure to the
right.
This is taken from the
top of the body figure
to its base.
This measurement is
taken around the
body.

33. This is taken from the top of the body
figure to its base.

34. -taken from the base of neck
down to the desired length of
the shirt/blouse

35. taken from the shoulder tip
point down to the desired
sleeve length

36. is taken around the body.

37. taken around the body with the
tape measure passing over the
fullest part of the shoulder
blade at the back and over to
the apex

39. taken along the lower section /
base of the neck, below the
Adams Apple.

41. taken around the smallest part
of the waistline. Insert two
fingers under the tape measure
for ease or allowance.

43. taken around the fullest part of
the arm in line with the armpit.

51. From a health perspective,
knowing your
measurements can clue
you in to health risks.

52. For example, if your waist
measures more than 35
inches (for a woman) or 40
inches (for a man), you may
be at a higher risk for heart
disease and type 2 diabetes,
according to the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute.

54. Why it's important to double-check
measurements after initially taking them?

55. 1. Group Formation: Divide the class into
four groups. Each group will be
assigned a representative model.
2. Model Measurement: The assigned
representative in each group will first
have their own body measurements
taken. Make sure to record these
measurements accurately.
3. Measurement Recording: Document
all measurements for the model.
Ensure clarity and precision in
recording.
Let’s do it!

56. 4. Cross-Group Measurement: After
recording the measurements of their
own model, each group will then
proceed to measure the model from
another group. This will be an
opportunity to practice and compare
techniques.
5. Comparison and Evaluation: After taking
measurements from another group's
model, compare the recorded
measurements with the original data.
Discuss any discrepancies and rectify if
necessary.
Let’s do it!

59. Directions: Complete the following statement based on
your understanding about the topic.
1. I have realized that it is important for me to learn the
guidelines in taking body measurement because
